The next few days will feature relatively quiescent conditions outside of the chances for showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms as ample moisture remains in place. A cold front remains on track to move down the Florida Peninsula over the weekend potentially stalling somewhere in the vicinity of the Florida Keys. A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect for the Upper Florida Keys through early Fri. morning for minor saltwater flooding around the times of high tide. (Note: Bayside communities of the Upper Keys will likely see little to no relief from flooding even at low tide.) The Coastal Flood Statement for the Middle and Lower Keys has been cancelled since water levels have receded and future tide cycles are expected to peak below critical values.
